Parameter Expression string for connecting to Excel
It is possible to connect your Parameter to a cell in an Excel spreadsheet by entering this string in the Expression field of the Parameter:
(excel ("C:\Temp\Values.xlsx", "Sheet1", "A1") * 0.0254)
The 0.0254 multiplier at the end is for converting meters back into inches since the Parameter table works in the system units of meters.
